Virginia Tech and Penn State will play a home-and-home series in 2022 and 2023, the schools announced Wednesday.

The meetings will be the first two between the schools. The series kicks off in Blacksburg, Va., on Sept. 17, 2022, followed the next season in State College, Pa., on Sept. 16.

Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver played center and linebacker at Penn State, earning his bachelor’s degree in 1967 and master’s degree in 1968. Weaver also spent time as an assistant coach at Penn State from 1969-72.

“I am very pleased that we have been able to negotiate a home and home football series with Penn State,” Weaver said in a statement. “I think this will be a series that our fans will look forward to since this is another Big Ten team. Over the next 10 years, we will be playing Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Penn State.”
